Celery and Bleu Cheese Dressing

Method

Chicken Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the wings with the BBQ sauce and return them to the oven. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly before removing them from the oven.

Celery and Bleu Cheese Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Celery

    While the wings are baking, wash and cut the celery sticks into 2-3 inch pieces.

  2. 6

    Make the Bleu Cheese Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the bleu cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mash the bleu cheese into the mixture until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
